day that day of Pickett's charge, and
stern southern stuff was met by stern
stuff from the north. If those two mag
nificent armies could meet in July, 1887,
they would present arms" to each other.
If the cause of the north was victorious it
was not because the south lacked courage,
and we may well be grateful that, after
twenty five years, the survivors, northern
and southern, shake hands as citizens of a
united country.
The dead of both sides may properly
be honored. The south should be invited
to build as many monuments as they
please, and on any spot to which their
dash and valor. give them claim. Those
heroes lie side by side in neighboring
graves, and if the monuments of north
and south touch each other they are
simply typical of the two forces which
during the charge were close enough to
cross bayonets.

Enjoy Life.

What truly beautiful world we live inl
Nature gives us grandeur of mountains,
glens and oceans, and thousands of means
of enjoyment. We can desire no better
when in perfect health; but how often do
the majority of people feel like giving it up,
disheartened, discouraged and worn out
with disease, when there is no occasion for
this feeling, as every sufferer can easily
obtain satisfactory proof, that Green's
August Flower will make them free from
disease, as when born. Dyspepsia and
liver complaint are the direct causes of
rs per cent. of such maladies as bilious
ness, indigestion, sick headache, costive-
ness, nervous prostration, dizziness of the
head, palpitation of the heart, and other
distressing symptoms. Three doses of
August Flower will prove its wonderful
effect. Sample bottles, 10 cents. Try it.

Outrage by a Negro

Friends Fixing for the

NEN York, May Is. A special from Raleigh,

in this state, pending he trial of egro named
Tabor, for assaulting white woman, wife of a
prominent physician Citizens 90 about armed .
Ammunition has been distributed to local military
companies, and there is every indication that blood
shed is expected. The particulars of these un-
usual pre- arati0ns ON the part of the white pOpu-
lation is ecause the prisoners friends have
threatened to introduce as Tabors defense testi-
mOny that he was asked to 90 to the ouse in tae
! absence of the womans hus. and The compla n
ant is of such high standing, and
so much respected in the community,
citizens say they will drag the prisoner from the
court room and hang him to the nearest tree If
such testimony is offered.
The trial comes off this week. Circumstantlal
evidence is alone sufficient 10 disprove the me-
gro's cOunter-charges. The assault took place
about three weeks ago. Tabor entered the lady 9
residence at night. IL was not till he approached
her bed che discovered 1t was not her husband.
She tried to escape from the room,
but Tabor prevented her, and
she then sprang through window and fled to
to a neiihbor's house. The alarm
was given and few hours later the negro was
captured The lady was i'll at the time from re-

An Old Story.
Missouri Republican

From the Missouri Republican.
The European residents of Alexandria
Cairo and other cities of Lower Egypt
are alarmed at the prospect of the
British army being withdrawn from the
country and are making loud protests
against the measure. They declare that
the evacuation will be followed by dis
order, misgovernment and financial ruin
to European investments and interests,
and that European residents will be
forced to abandon the country with the
troops.
How like is this to the howl of carpet
baggers in our southern states in 1877,
when it was resolved to withdraw the
army, under whose protection the afore-
said carpet -baggefs had been robbing the
treasures, depressing the whites and
cheating the blacks
The British experience in Egypt is
another chapter in the long history OF
British conquest of feeble states-frst, a
violent settlement of British residents in
the country for purposes Of trade or some
other pretense, and then the military sub
jugation of the land to insure protection
to these residents. This is the history of
British dealing with Ireland, of British
dealing with India, of British dealing with
Burmah, Of British dealing with South
Africa and the Pacific islands, and IL will
probably be the history Of British dealing
with Egypt. English oppressionin ireland
attempts to justify itself with the plea
of defending the Saxon element
planted there hundreds of years ago.
doing aacond wrong to make good the
first The handful of English residents
living in Egypt assume that Egypt was
made for them, and that the only reason
for the existence of the Egyptians Is that
they may be ground and squeezed for the
enrichment OF English bondholders and
English merchants. As Saxon landlords
claim 20 own all that is worth owning in
Ireland, so English residents claim pretty
near all that is valuable in Egypt, and
nothing would delight them more than
the perpetual presence of British army,
under whose protection they may bleed
the land and wiring 80 per cent. in taxes
from the poor, sheep-hearted and AFFECT
fellahs who till the soil.

A Convict Falls in Pool of Molten Iron,

leave but it is supposed he stumbled and allowed
some of the molten iron to spill upon the floor,
and some of il. it is thought spattered upon jack
SONS leg This enraged the colored man. and,
turning on Gleason, he raised a crooked iron bar
which he used in his work, and with aud oath,
struck Gleason on the head, knocking him down
and cutting half inch into the latters head,

Gleason dropped the ladie of hot iron and in an
instant sank to the ground in the midst of a pool
of molten metal. Before he could be rescued, the
flesh had been burned from his right shoulder to
the hand, and from the left elbow to the
tins of the fingers on that hand
H. WAC also burned off his breast
from the neck to the pit of the s;omach the entire
width of his body, while his back was a macs Of

"With Malice Toward None, With
Charity for ALL"

From'the New ork Herald.
The brave southerners who took part in
Pickett's brilliant charge at Gettysburg
have been looking forward to July with
high antIcipatlons. They hoped to meet
their northern opponents on that famous
and fateful day to rehearse the events
which were big with historic significance,
and to recount to each other lnnumerable
adventures and hairbreadth escapes.
They were also to take with them a
monument, commemorative of the splen-
did courage of their comrades, and to
erect it on the furthest point reached
within the union lines. The plan is APP
proved by the survivors of the union
forces which repulsed and drove them
back. There seems no harm in marking
the spot where the northern forces were
mPorarily broken, and if monument
to southern courage stands close TO a
monument to northern pluck, what of it I?
The brave men on both sides crossed their
swords there, and the spot will forever
have painful interest for every Ameri-
can.
But the Gettysburg Battlefield Memorial
association says ''No," politely yet decid-
eddy. They are willing TO have the monu-
ment built at Pickett's starting point, but
not within the lines OF the northern army.
They object also to the inscription on the
base of the monument, two lines written
in pencil by General Lee and found in his
army satchel after Appomattox:
Glorious Il his fate and enyied is bis lot
Who for ME country fights and for II dies.
This strikes as as very mean and small
business. So it viii strike every soldier
who won honor on the field. The brave
man is always ready to give deserved
praise to his opponent. 1t was an awful

THE COLOR LINE.
Trouble in the South Carolina Episcopal
Church Over the Negro

CHICAGO, May 16.-A Times special from Coium
bia, South Carolina says the Episcopal Diocesan
convention, which adjourned Saturday evening,
upon in a number OF sermons yesterday The
great majority of Eplscopaians are in deadly OPP
position to the negro being admitted in cohven-
lions, and the preachers have but few friends in
the stand which they have taken. 1t is
asserted by their lay opponents that if the negro is
allowed to vote in conventions in ten or fifteen
years he will govern the body The proposition
has been made by some lay members tn organize
and discharge all the preachers opposed to them
and favorng admission of the cOiJred man into
the convention, and to elect ministers who would
vote to exclude the negro. There is much bitter
feeling, and general smash up would not be
surprising.
